Doohickie Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm sure half the board pictured me as the creepy Spanish avatar dude I had when I lost the bet. I still do. And he was Filipino. Would still like an old timers Meetup of PA, DeLuca, Ghost, ToddKaz, Labatt, BTP, Callaway, Taro and myself. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few (cuz I'm old) but the one thing I noticed from the pic was the overwhelming youth outside of the bookend geriatrics. I've been on the forum 10+ years and, well, I'm old (mid 50s), so maybe I should be in on that. I'd actually have to get up to Buffalo for a game though. I need to do that; the last Sabres game I went to in Buffalo was in the Aud sometime in the late 1970s. I think I paid $6 for my ticket in the orange section, about 2X my hourly wage at the time.

JJFIVEOH Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 He will play tonight, yep. Ekblad, however, will not be. Most likely won't play in the next game against the Sabres too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm not sure I like knowing what you guys look like. It was way easier when I could imagine I was talking to a bunch of 400 lb losers eating cheetos and mountain dew in their parent's basement. :bag:I'm still living in my mom's basement, if that helps at all.

JJFIVEOH Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Good. No reason to risk any more harm.I thought it was stupid to try and bring him back last game. You're right, sit him out the rest of the year. Rowe admitted he shouldn't have brought him back even though all the doctors cleared him to play.

Can't remember when my first Sabres game was, but I can tell you that my first Bills game was against the Browns when Sam Rutigliano was their HC. I haven't hit the half century mark yet, but I'm getting mighty close. Maybe we should have a geriatric Sabres meet up of us that are 40 and older.

CallawaySabres Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Yeah. I'm not sure where to start. I'm sure if you put together any lowlights from a defenseman who has played that long it's gonna be ugly but man some of those were hysterically bad. Especially where he got beat 3 times on the same play. Who the hell has access to that many games from that long ago. Thankfully those if us who closely resemble what everyone thinks we should look like shied away from the Meetup. Would still like an old timers Meetup of PA, DeLuca, Ghost, ToddKaz, Labatt, BTP, Callaway, Taro and myself. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few (cuz I'm old) but the one thing I noticed from the pic was the overwhelming youth outside of the bookend geriatrics. I would definitely be up for that.....would't it be nice to have a playoff meet-up in late April/early May on a patio. Probably tough for out-of-towners though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Eeeshh...this game has almost no implications, hard to find much to care about. It's the Free Game of the day on yahoo.com for out of marketers looking for quality streams. I hope the Sabres draw a lot of penalties and Eichel keeps racking up points and giving RJ something to scream about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 4-2 Sabres Gionta, Kane x2, Eichel score goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 With so little left to cheer for, I find myself fairly obsessed with Eichel hitting that PPG threshold. Let's Go Buffalo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Sabres coming off an entertaining win where they showed lots of speed and energy. That said, I'll predict BUF gets outshot 47-16 and lose 2-1 in a shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Frankly, hilarious. With so little left to cheer for, I find myself fairly obsessed with Eichel hitting that PPG threshold. Let's Go Buffalo! Mostly I'm just hoping he is able to exceed his total from last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Any idea on the price? Overpriced like anything else in the arena. I can't remember specifics. Actually, I can't remember the last time I bought a drink in the arena. Best place to get is Pour Man's Aud Club, roughly outside of sec. 114.
